See what travelers are saying about their North America eSIM experience. Real feedback from real users to help you pick the best plan for your trip.
“poor speed. not connection inn some cases. breakout to HK makes the service unusable.”
“The application is good and the coverage depends on chosen supplier. Some suppliers are good, others need to be enhanced. The speed and coverage depends on the service provider and on the country infrastructure. Rate is acceptable.”
“Trusted provider and amazing customer support!
I bought a voice+data esim for my travel to the States, but after activation I had issues with the data, despite voice calls and SMS working well.
I contacted the customer support team via Whatsapp who were very responsive and issued me an additional data-only esim (1GB) until they could resolve the issue with the original one.
The team was very supposed and solved all my issues and did not leave me hanging while I am traveling and need the data connection at all times.
Highly trusted and reliable, based on my experience.”
“I bought a data-only eSIM for the US.
Checkout was straight forward, esim activation was quick, just scanned the QR code on a Google Pixel phone.
Signal strength seems pretty solid so far, and I didn't experience any connectivity issues.
Highly recommended.”
“Do not ever buy an eSIM from this company. After installing the eSIM and arriving in Canada, I had no internet access for about ten hours. Just imagine being in a foreign country with no data connection because they can’t provide a working SIM. The speed didn’t go above 120 kilobytes. After contacting customer support multiple times and reinstalling the eSIM twice, it finally started working. However, the plan was for five days, and after just one day the speed dropped again to 120 kilobytes, making the eSIM basically unusable.
Don’t buy it spend your money elsewhere.”
“I have used Airalo in about 20 countries and I was quite satisfied mostly. In Mexico though, they are useless unless you stay in the biggest cities. They connect to Movistar network in there and if you plan to travel around, it is absolutely useless with no coverage in most places where other providers have a good signal. ”
“Doesn't work in Canada, tried Rogers Wireless (Blue) and Freedom Mobile Canada (Black) routes.
Fortunately, support is good and will give you a refund.”
“They offer a wide range of options in terms of pricing and duration, and they also provide eSIM card for the USA. Now that I’ve used it a few times, I’m extremely happy with the service. Their customer support is slow but they resolved the Issues as soon as possible but good Gob.”
“Great service and inexpensive; you can switch providers by selecting the network option on your phone if one network has poor reception.”
“Throttling, low speed after two GB instead of unlimited data as was promised. Bought another USA esim, speed became 40 times higher. Used both to download steam games.”
“Great experience, connected in New York, Chicago and LA. 5G most of the time. Easy and perfect !”
“after a whole day of waiting, the unlimited data plan finally work in Canada, speed is limited at 5Mbps download. hotspot as shown below is less than 1Mbps”
“The eSIM works for 30 minutes and now it shows no service again. I bought 5days unlimited plan, I have been speaking with Yoho customer service for 3 hours , no refund, no solutions, just let me wait.”
“This company sells an esim that claims to work for 100gb for USA but it cuts of after only 12gb. This company is false advertising. This company should not be allowed on esimdb.”
“Fast & cheap esim
Watch out for restricted apps.
Provider app is a bit clunky”
“Great prices, but incredibly slow. At most I can get 0.2mb/s, about 2000x slower than my normal Sim Card.”
“This company is a scammer. They sell misadvertised esims that does not work fully in the advertised countries. It shuts off after a short use. Stay away.”
“They sell a 100gb esim that is supposed to be good for USA but limit it to 12gb and want to charge you more money. Terrible service and becuase it connects through a UK vpn, nothing works in the USA.”
“Update on previous review: They now route the data through a London VPN so that .gov sites and everything else works. Some very picky sites like homedepot still don't work, but I don't think it's possible to avoid with an international sim. Their site updated to Verizon/T-Mobile which is accurate, but they haven't updated this info across all plans. Expect high latency, as data is routed first through Hong Kong then London and data is QCI 9 but other than that I found it to be very reliable over a few months.”
“Fraud! Their eSim does not truly give you the GBs they advertise. Instead they have fine prints that they try to hide. Out of the 40GB I purchased, only 6GB of roaming is included.”
“Turns off and doesn’t work every so often. They’re very difficult to contact. Don’t recommend use a different one.”
“Worked great in USA but data goes through Hong Kong so no ChatGPT or TikTok. I would get 300 mbs when doing Speedtest”
“It works but traffic goes through Hong Kong so you'll get latency and China's censorship (no ChatGPT or TikTok).
Support response was "get a VPN", so totally useless”
“I purchased this eSIM for my trip to the US and was satisfied with the ease of installation and the very affordable price. However, I encountered some issues with data traffic being routed through Hong Kong, causing latency and blocking some services like TikTok and ChatGPT. When I reached out to support, they seemed surprised and went on the defensive, rather than offering a helpful solution. It would have been helpful if this was clearly stated on the website and if support was more knowledgeable and proactive in addressing the issue. Overall, the service was easy to use, but these issues impacted my overall experience.”
“Uses Hong Kong IPs, some .gov sites and Amazon cloudfront sites don't work, but TOR works to bypass without a bridge. Only complaint is that it was initially advertised as all three carriers, but they seemed to switch their roaming policies so I only get T-Mobile/Verizon and sometimes Verizon doesn't work. Maybe some carriers are LAC locked, but I would have another eSIM with permanent data to use other carriers in a pinch if you need. They are also a new provider so their rates/policies change quick.”
“Used Yoho twice in the last month for jaunts into the US. Cheap plans that work great for my needs. I am not normally streaming, but downloading music, maps,
research on the fly…
Had an issue with the eSIM not being formed, but relogging in solved it.”
“Only the payment system works, price was debited from my card but then I just get "unknown error manufacturing esim".
Support does not respond.
Seems to be a scammer website, pity that they are listed here.”
“No issues in the US. I bought 7 eSIMs and we activated them without any problems upon arrival. In fact, one person ended up not traveling, so I contacted their customer service, and within 24 hours they replied and refunded me for the unused eSIM. A perfect 10/10.”
“Worked well through 4 Canadian provinces. Tethering worked perfectly too.
SIM seemed to be provided via a Polish network as I often got search results that assumed I was in Poland.”
“Like Ben who gave a review. I tried everything to get this to work. It would show I had signal but would not pass data. I looked it did not auto getting APN settings. I tried many settings and could never get it to allow any data in. So it was a waste of money my wife also lost money on breeze. I did go to a different esim company (Globalesim) that allowed bell and was able to setup an apn that worked fine for that company.”
“Eskimo eSIM- caution!!
After you install the Eskimo travel eSIM, trial or otherwise and decide to deactivate and close your account. The device can no longer be used again should your sell your smart phone or give to someone else. Quote in the Eskimo Support and email: "You will also not be able to create a new account on the same device in the future." Speeds were 50-90MbpsDL/4-9Mbps UL, not too bad.
Basically, your Android or iPhone device is black listed from future installation by a new user or same owner. SOL in either case.
Due to this condition, I generously gave a 1-Star rate for re-installation that was impossible after deletion and deactivation of 1st time use account even if I were to purchase a plan and scan the original QR code. Not a good way to market the product.
🚫 Definitely not recommended for:
• Shared devices
• People trying to test their service first
• Reuse with new accounts for friends/family”
“5G everywhere good price, you can use the chatgpt and others with vpn easy !!”

Everything you need to know about using eSIMs in North America
